History
Margā (today called Yemişli) was historically inhabited by Chaldean Catholics. There were 760 Chaldean Catholics in 1913 and the village had one church and one priest as part of the diocese of Zakho. The village was destroyed by the Ottoman Army in June 1915 amidst the Sayfo and its inhabitants were later resettled at Berseve near Zakho in Iraq.
